Zhenguan Leisurely King

Chapter 132 You Are the One His Majesty Wants

"How is it possible, how could my brother-in-law lose?" Lu Songjun didn't believe anything, but he had to believe what he saw with his own eyes.

"Master." Mrs. Cheng called softly, with concern in her tone.

"Yeah, Wang Ping'an won, fourth brother, I'm right, neither you nor General Cheng can beat him. Hahahaha!" Li Lizhi jumped up and said happily.

Li Tai looked at Li Lizhi who was bouncing around with a wry smile, and finally sighed: "I am indeed not as good as him, and he really did not live up to the word prodigy bestowed by the emperor."

Wang Pingan walked up to Cheng Yaojin and saluted with both hands clasped, "Uncle Cheng, my nephew won by luck this time, please don't be offended."

"Hahahaha! How can I be offended by this old man? He is really a hero out of a young man. I am convinced that I lost in this competition." Cheng Yaojin said proudly.

Winning or losing is a common matter in military affairs. It is not shameful to lose on the battlefield. If you lose, you will cry.

"Let's go, I'm hungry after playing for so long, let's go back together." Cheng Yaojin took Wang Ping'an's little hand and went all the way down the mountain, and everyone followed.

"Uncle Cheng, don't be in a hurry to eat. My nephew promises that Uncle Cheng will be able to eat delicious food and drink wine when he returns to the mansion. Now my nephew hopes that Uncle Cheng can fulfill his promise and let my nephew join the army with the farmers behind him." Wang Pingan Facing Cheng Yaojin, he clasped his fists and said respectfully.

"I want as many farmers as there are behind you, but you are too young, I can't let a child go to battle and kill the enemy, right?" Cheng Yaojin expressed his concerns.

"So that's the case." Wang Pingan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Cheng. In fact, when my nephew enters the barracks, he doesn't have to fight the enemy in person. As long as Uncle Cheng agrees to let my nephew continue to command the 80 people behind me, my nephew will continue to command the [-] people behind me. My nephew can assure you that my little nephew and these people will definitely become amazing soldiers and contribute to the expansion of the Great Tang's territory."

"Let the old man think about it." Cheng Yaojin didn't immediately agree to Wang Ping'an, not because he didn't want to, but because he was the one the emperor wanted.

The two talked while walking, and they will soon go down the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, Li Tai, Li Lizhi, Mrs. Cheng and others are already waiting here.

When Mrs. Cheng and Lu Songjun saw Cheng Yaojin, they hurried up and cared, "Master! (Brother-in-law!)"

"Ma'am, what's the matter with you?" Seeing Mrs. Cheng hesitated to speak, she asked.

Mrs. Cheng saw that Cheng Yaojin didn't look depressed, she smiled at him and said, "It's nothing."

On the other side, Li Taige and Li Lizhi saw Wang Ping'an, and ran up and said: "Ping'an, you are really amazing. Not only did you beat the fourth brother, but you also defeated the Cheng family army. If the emperor knows about this, he will definitely let him treat you well." Impressive."

"Li Zhi, do you ever say that about your brother?" Li Tai asked Li Li.

"babble!!!"

Li Lizhi stuck out her tongue at Li Tai, frowned, and turned her head to ignore Li Tai. Li Tai was not surprised, but was not angry, and said to Wang Ping'an, "Ping An, I didn't expect that you are not only good at business, but also skilled at craftsmanship." Talent, but I didn't expect you to have the talent of a general. You are really versatile in both civil and military affairs!"

"Brother Tai was joking. It's just that I saw more, thought more, walked more and did more work to achieve today's achievements." Wang Pingan said modestly.

"Look more? Think more? Walk more? Do more? This seems to be the supreme philosophy contained in superficial principles. Li Tai has been taught." Li Tai saluted Wang Ping'an as if he had figured something out. .

Seeing this, Wang Pingan quickly stopped Li Tai and said, "Brother Tai, what are you doing? My brothers don't do this, unless you don't treat me as a brother."

Hearing what Wang Pingan said, Li Tai didn't pretend, and laughed loudly: "Haha! That's right, we are brothers, it shouldn't be like this."

"Brother Tai, I would like to trouble you with one thing."

"Brothers, don't talk about troubles. If you have something to say, just say it."

"The thing is like this, before the game..." Wang Pingan promised Cheng Yaojin Mingming that as long as he could beat him, he would let him serve as a soldier. Unexpectedly, he told him what he regretted now, and asked Li Taineng Let Cheng Yaojin accept himself.

"Don't worry, it's on me." Li Tai said in a tone that everything belongs to me.

After chatting with his wife and brother-in-law for a while, Cheng Yaojin walked to Li Tai and Wang Ping'an and said, "His Royal Highness, it's getting late, let's go have dinner."

"Well, let's go." After Li Tai finished speaking, he gave Wang Pingan a reassuring look.

Li Tai and Cheng Yaojin walked in front, and Mrs. Cheng, Wang Pingan and others walked behind them.

"General Cheng, what position do you plan to have Wang Ping'an in your barracks?" Li Tai asked.

Cheng Yaojin was questioned by Li Tai, and he said awkwardly: "His Royal Highness, the old man never thought of letting Ping An enter my barracks."

"Why, I remember, we have already made a bet before the game. As long as Wang Pingan wins, you will accept him and his subordinates." Li Tai wondered.

Cheng Yaojin looked embarrassed for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "Since His Royal Highness Wei Wang asked, I will tell you, it's not that I don't want to accept Wang Ping'an, but that I am not qualified enough, and he is the one His Majesty wants to accept."

"What? Father? Why would father want Wang Ping'an?" Li Tai was shocked.

Lu Songjun and Wang Ping'an were also shocked.

But Wang Ping'an was okay, he knew that he had already entered Li Er's heart, but he was still very surprised, he didn't expect that the emperor wanted him, so Wang Ping'an had a new idea.

Wang Pingan said: "Uncle Cheng, His Royal Highness King Wei, since His Majesty is so fond of the boy, the boy will live up to His Majesty's kindness, and he will go to Chang'an as soon as the construction of the Wangjiazhuang is completed."

"Alright, but don't tell anyone, the old man slipped his tongue." Cheng Yaojin said.

Wang Pingan said: "Boy understands."

Li Tai curled his lips and looked at Cheng Yaojin with contempt on his face.

Soon everyone returned to the Wang family mansion, and Wang Ping'an invited everyone to enter the back hall. At this time, Lao Mo had already ordered the people to put the food and wine on display.

"Gu Han, tell the kitchen to make some food for the brothers, and then bring ten altars of wine for the brothers to drink." Wang Pingan ordered.

"Yes, I'll do it right now."

Gu Han left with Tieping and Zhao Hao, and the back hall was handed over to a few big men, and all the little men like himself went outside, did the people who didn't see General Cheng also leave?

After Wang Pingan asked everyone to do it, he began to pour the freshly distilled wine for everyone, and the aroma of wine was overflowing in the back hall.

Cheng Yaojin immediately shouted: "It smells so good!"

I couldn't wait to pick up the cup and drank it down: "Ahem, good wine, really good wine, although the first sip was spicy and choking, but after the second sip, the mellow taste of the wine immediately dissipated in the mouth, and a warm current flowed from the mouth. It's really good wine from the mouth to the stomach."

After hearing Cheng Yaojin's words, everyone couldn't wait to pick up the wine and take a sip.

"Cough cough..."

Everyone coughed, choked and hot, this was their first reaction, after the second sip, it was just like what Cheng Yaojin said, good wine.

Cheng Yaojin is a drinker, he doesn't even look at the table full of dishes, and pours wine one after another with a wine jug.

Mrs. Cheng was different. He watched Lu Songjun, Li Tai, Li Lizhi and the others take the food directly with their hands instead of using chopsticks, and frowned in disgust: "Little brother, how could you do this? If you don't know the rules, what are chopsticks used for?"

"Sister, eat quickly, or you won't have anything to eat after my brother-in-law has a bite of the food." Lu Songjun knows Cheng Yaojin's appetite.

Mrs. Cheng frowned and put a mouthful of food into her mouth. The delicacy in her mouth instantly replaced her rationality. He also put down the chopsticks in his hand and took them directly with his hands.

Cheng Yaojin originally disdained the delicacies on the table, but seeing the princes and daughters, as well as his wife and brother-in-law eating vegetables with their hands so unrulyly, he curiously picked up the stewed pig's trotters on the table and bit them a mouthful.

"It's delicious. When you bite into it, the meat is moderately soft and hard, and the taste is delicious and sweet. For some reason, after taking a bite of this pig's trotter, why do I want to drink so much? Is it true that good wine needs to be paired with delicious food to make it even better. After biting a pig's trotter, ideas kept flooding into my mind.

So Cheng Yaojin also joined in the battle for food, but Cheng Yaojin is eating a mouthful of food and drinking a mouthful of fine wine.

Wang Pingan didn't move his chopsticks, but kept watching the competition for alternative delicacies initiated by this group of guys who haven't eaten good food at the kitchen table, but logically, the whole pig feast Lu Songjun and Li Tai brothers and sisters should have eaten a lot Again, why there is such a performance, this makes Wang Pingan puzzled.

Soon the dining table became a mess, except that Wang Ping'an and Lu Songjun were not drunk, Cheng Yaojin, Mrs. Cheng and Li Tai brothers and sisters were already lying on the table.

Wang Pingan ordered the maids to clean up the dining table, and helped Cheng Yaojin and Li Tai brothers and sisters go down to rest.

"Ping'an, your performance has made the old man's eyes shine again. When did you train those 80 people with military talents? In just over a month, they were able to defeat my brother-in-law's soldiers." Lu Songjun asked.

Wang Pingan smiled slightly and said: "Uncle Lu, forgive me, this is a set of military training methods that the boy has learned before. Those who trained them are the ones who are now."

"This is your secret, and I don't even ask about it. I'm going to Chang'an to take up the post soon. I'm the left servant of the household department. Luoyang may not be able to help you much." Lu Songjun sighed.

Wang Pingan said: "Don't worry, Uncle Lu, everything has been arranged for my nephew in Luoyang, but Chang'an is a place where dragons and tigers are hidden, so Uncle Lu should be careful."
